iPhone OS 4 is now iOS 4, coming June 21

As part of the iPhone 4 introduction today at WWDC 2010, Apple's Steve Jobs announced a name change for the operating system that powers an increasing number of their mobile devices -- goodbye iPhone OS, hello iOS. And it's coming June 21.

Base features are what we saw at the sneak peak event -- and have detailed in way too much detail already in our walkthrough -- except for the FaceTime (i.e. video chat/calling) feature.

GDGT says cisco owns that trademark, much like they owned iPhone in 2007. It looks a bit weird to me still, and I'm fairly sure the iMac isn't running it, so it will take some getting used to. For Apple to use iPhone 4 for the phone name, however, they needed something more distinct for the OS.

Even if they did, Apple has shown in the past, both with Apple Music and with Cisco itself, that they simply do not care. They will plow ahead, invite the other company to sue them, and then -- eventually -- pay them off.
Jobs famous "Change your name. No big deal" email applies to other companies, not to Apple.

So we still can't customize the look in any way, we still have to navigate endless menus to switch simple stuff that needs managing throughout the day like bluetooth, network, WiFi, etc. that need to go on/off (why on earth won't they have one app with all those switches), etc. Stupid.

@(Copy of) Dev:
"It appears that Apple actually approached Cisco and licensed the use of the name:"
Looks like Apple learned their lesson this time. Good for them that they worked it out "before" going public.
